Executive Summary: The Fraser Institute’s sixteenth annual waiting list survey found that Canada-wide waiting times for surgical and other therapeutic treatments increased slightly in 2006. Total waiting time between referral from a general practitioner and treatment, averaged across all 12 specialties and 10 provinces surveyed, increased from 17.7 weeks in 2005 to 17.8 weeks in 2006. This small nationwide deterioration in access reflects waiting-time increases in 7 provinces, while concealing decreases in waiting time in Alberta, Ontario, and Newfoundland.
Among the provinces, Ontario achieved the shortest total wait in 2006, 14.9 weeks, with Alberta (16.3 weeks), and Manitoba (18.0 weeks) next shortest. New Brunswick exhibited the longest total wait, 31.9 weeks; the next longest waits were found in Saskatchewan (28.5 Weeks) and Prince Edward Island (25.8 weeks).
LIAR. There are no waiting lists in Canada except for very serious and expensive procedures. |
